Bug Man x Reader Part One*
Read on AO3
SO, wanted to write something of this topic bc we all need some more Musical!BJ in our lives, it’s a nice comfort ngl, I enjoyed writing it and hope you do too c:
(Got carried away so here's the first half while I edit the second one in the meantime, it takes a bit to get to the main part we all want to read forgive mE it's better in th next one believeme)
I'd love some feedback since I haven't written anything since 2019 ;v; some wordings might seem odd since my brain speaks spanish first english second
Summary; Old boring university life and a broken but hopeful heart meet the supernatural and whacky demon/ghost with the most, reader-chan needs to get out from a toxic relationship and what's a better help than a magic dead man? Cutting ties might seem easier when someone else arrives and flips your world upside down with no warning.
Mostly fluff, bits of angst l8r
Female reader, but tried to not give any other specifics to the character themselves, OCs appear
It was a fresh autumn afternoon, birds still chirped before migrating to warmer areas for the winter, the wind was cold but nice, not yet freezing but enough for people to wear light coats. You sit on a school desk, a class about taxes and fees, you drift off a bit looking at the window while half-listening.
You lived in a medium but popular city, it was a great place, with nice, kind people for the most part, huge malls, restaurants and lots of places to go out with friends or alone.
...
"Miss ___? Care to answer this equation here for the class?" The teacher asks, a tall, slender woman that radiated authority, it made some students shiver in times like this with a direct question.
"Oh? Yeah- sure miss Adams" You replied, while trying not to look confused since you just missed the topic, hopefully you remembered from the last lesson by the time you walked up to the blackboard and took the marker to write.
...
After class, you were walking with your friends to the cafeteria next to the main exit to wait for an uber to arrive; your side job as a freelance wasn't good enough yet to afford a car, but it helped pay the bills and to have enough for a bit more more than the basic needs.
Your two best friends at college were Itai and Rob. Itai was a funny dude, with a darker tone on his skin, not so tall and full of charisma. Rob was a bit more collected, but still a lot of fun to be around, being the voice of reason for you three most of the time, emphasis in most, because sometimes he got carried away too.
"Man I hate that class, I don't understand a thing! Why do we even need math?" Itai tells the group, sounding annoyed as usual, he was a simple guy, but simple guys need a degree too, to secure a better job.
"Well if you paid attention instead of eating that cold baguette in class you won't be that confused my man" Rob replies, laughing a bit at the end
"At least you weren't asked to do math in front of the class" You sigh, putting down your backpack and sitting on a table next to the building's exit, looking at your phone to know how much time was left for the driver to arrive, around 10 minutes.
"Yeah everyone felt so bad for you, but hey, if you’ll be daydreaming at least look at the front instead of the window next time, it might help you" Rob said while opening a bottle of apple juice, his favorite, he wouldn't drink any other thing, he was probably 60% apple juice after years of drinking it that often.
A few minutes passed by, the three friends chatting about the day's events, their plans for the weekend, and how to get the next assignment done. A figure appeared behind you putting a hand on your shoulders.
"Well hello ladies!" A man chirped, you turned around laughing softly
"Hey yourself!" you replied "Already off?"
"Yeah I've got the last hour free so I'm gonna head out to Kris' place, we'll play some games and work on that big project I told you the other day"
"Great, have fun! You say hi to Kris from me yeah?"
"Sure thing, see you later!" He says with a squeeze of his hand on your shoulder, then a quick pat on the head, turning around to leave.
"Bye, take care Nick!" you say as the man walks out of the cafeteria's door waving a hand.
Silence lingers for a bit until Itai breaks it
"Hey so, you're still going out with him?" He says with a crooked smile and a nervous look, Rob has a similar expression
"Yeeeah... it's been okay for some time now, you know? Hah" You look down for a second, pondering "Maybe this time is the good run?" Uncertainty fills the question, but you still smile to your friends.
Nikolas wasn't the model boyfriend, at least not for your friends; he was full of sweet words, hugs and kisses, only in private places though. When it came to the campus he treated you just like any other friend.
There was a small reason, according to him, he wanted to wait a bit more to make it public, get to know each other better, just to be certain from both sides.
That was the excuse a year ago.
It wasn't like he was out and flirting with other people, not at all, but one could expect to be treated like a love partner after so much time and moments together, you’ve gone to the movies, to dinner, to each other's houses, hell your families knew you two were dating, it just wasn't more than the bare minimum from him, seemed more like a thing someone does if they have free time, not make time for that thing, the thing being the relationship.
It seemed to be only a problem of neglect and apathy, probably, though you were so dumbly in love with him at first, you have been hoping and asking for a change since the relationship escalated to more than just holding hands and light kisses.
"I don't think anything's gonna change, he's been stalling for a whole year now" Itai mumbled, looking at Rob, he nodded in agreement
"Yeah, just dump him already, you deserve way better, you give him everything you got and he just throws the leftovers at you."
"I guess, but we're going out this weekend! You know he doesn't like going out often"
"With you" Rob adds
You hesitate a reply, it was true, most of the times you asked him to go out for a change, he was either too busy or decided to change the event the same day, turning it into a make out session in his house every time. Even though you saw each other 2 days every week, you have seen him go out with his friends more often, on actual enrichment outside activities.
"I know..." you sigh " I'll think about it, I'll try to talk with him about it next time”
Both of your friends let out a small groan of annoyance, they knew you weren't gonna do it, or that he'll just brush it off as always, between the lines of 'oh you're overreacting'
"Ah my ride's here!" You got up from the table and grabbed your backpack, tossing it over one shoulder.
"See he can't even give you a lift to your place!" Itai teased, they knew how you felt about the whole situation, but joking around sometimes made it a bit less bitter.
"Ha-ha, you know we live in opposite ends of the city! Besides none of you give me a ride either" you said while sticking a tongue out on your way outside the cafeteria
"Yeah because you live at the ends of the earth for some weird reason!" Rob joked back
Everyone said their quick goodbyes, and after a calm ride back home you remembered something just as you were locking the door, tossing your backpack into the living room’s couch you walked over to your room.
You flopped onto the bed, looking at your phone you opened some pending messages on the family group chat, apparently a distant relative of yours had died, and the family was gonna hold a small funeral tomorrow morning on the local cemetery, you didn’t enjoy those kind of events since you’d get really emotional, but since it was something really small, no more than 20 people, it was private and most likely no strangers would see you cry over someone you barely knew.
Tomorrow was saturday so it was okay to spend one free morning humoring your family.
After some mindless browsing on your phone, it was already 12:30am, you haven’t even got off your sneakers since you got home, you did a quick self-cleanup in the bathroom, tossing today’s clothes to the side to change into an oversized shirt with no pants as a makeup pijamas, it got a bit warmer in the afternoon so you wanted to enjoy wearing something light before winter fully arrived, getting under the sheets and you were out fast, maybe from all the overthinking of what’d tomorrow might bring, you’ve forgotten what are funerals like.
But there was certainly no way you’d know what would happen at all the next day
...
The event was simple, thankfully there was not much crying, seemed like everyone accepted already what had happened, some kind of illness you heard, at least they weren’t suffering anymore and they’ve come to terms with everyone close to them, that was nice you thought, it sure felt a bit heavy in there, as usual for funerals. After the ceremony, the family offered a barbeque in the departed’s honor to bright up the mood a bit; right at the cementery, maybe it was cheaper than renting a place for it.
Free tasty food was something only an idiot would decline, so you spent some time doing small talk with the relatives you knew best, but still you mostly just listened and ate in silence.
You saw a glimpse of color and movement out of the corner of your eye, since everyone was wearing dark tones it stood out, turning your head there was just an empty plastic table with some half-full plates and glasses, still, you felt a shiver up your spine, it was probably the weather.
When you looked back at your phone's clock it was already 6 pm, guess dad jokes and food made time fly, you said your goodbyes and condolences to everyone and headed out, you were still at the cemetery, so you had to call a ride back home, the driver dropped you near a convenience store just around the corner of your apartment, since you needed to buy a snack for dinner, on sundays you usually had takeout, so no need to worry much about it right now.
_______________________________________________________
“I know I didn’t imagine anything, that breather saw me at the cemetery! we even locked eyes for a second! It may work this time, just gotta get closer while they're alone”
_______________________________________________________
Walking down the street, humming a bit to some music and a bag of snacks in hand, dusk started to set, some stars could be seen and the sky was a beautiful fuchsia tone with oranges and purples mixed in the clouds. On instinct, you took your phone out of your jeans pocket to take a picture of the cute sky.
Just as you took a couple of pictures, to make sure at least one was good to share, something caught your attention out of the corner of your eye again
You felt a shiver like a cold wind out of nowhere, similar as to when a car drives a bit too close to someone on winter, but there was not even one driving car on the street.
"Oof, should get back now, it's getting colder" picking up the peace to get home faster-
A piece of paper slapped you in the face
“EW- wind trash” you muttered while grabbing what seemed to be a flyer, and it flew indeed.
You naturally took a closer look at it when you took it into your hands and out of your face, it was a very faded print, with an image of an… insect? man? holding a hammer over a small house and people, you chuckled, it was a funny irony cartoon, a bug crushing people.
Half of the flyer was unreadable because of some liquid or dirt, already dry but you couldn’t read what was supposed to be, written under the drawing was the end of an ad;
“Ghostly services one name away!
RESIDENTIAL - INDUSTRIAL - COMMERCIAL
Call BETELGEUSE
BETELGEUSE
BETELGEUSE!”
“Betelgeuse? ...Like that one star?” There was that shiver again, Halloween was a week ago, so this kind of paper seemed normal to be hanging around with the wind.
As you walked down the street, some lights started flickering, the cold wind seemed stronger and the sky was a deep dark purple now, strange, it was supposed to be clear dark blue by now, fall nights came quickly this time of the year, still it didn't feel like the usual night. You were just around the corner of your street when the closest light bulb exploded and zapped with a loud 'CRASH', making you stop for a second cowering from the shards
"What the-!? No one told me we'd be getting winter thunderstorms sooner what the eff" muttering swears you made a run to your apartment, scurrying for the door keys in the process, lights kept flashing and the wind made windows sing a high 'oooo' noise, you have seen this kind of weather before but no one would like to be outside when it happened, nervously and quickly you finally fit the key in the lock and opened the door, hurrying inside and closing it behind, a loud bang thundered through the silent room, the unexpected storm slamming against the walls and windows, you left the lights on before going out.
After a minute it seemed to calm down, wind turning into a breeze and the sky now it's usual black, no stars in the sky.
You let out a sigh and walked to the counter to drop your keys, the phone and your purse, you had to make sure all the windows were closed for the night, luckily it was Saturday, so no need to go out tomorrow on that crazy weather.
Windows secured, you changed into your winter pajamas, a gray pair of pants with a pattern of a cat on toast and eggs, with a pastel blue loose shirt. Making your way to the kitchen you decided a light snack would be enough for tonight, after that run and emotion on the way back home you had no energy to cook a proper dinner, not even microwave, it was also too late for it anyways you thought.
You put the snack bowl and a cup of water on the kitchen counter, looking to grab your phone. You noticed you still had the dirty flyer, forgot to drop it between the commotion maybe?
Placing it aside and unlocking your phone screen, you opened the ‘best friend's’ chat group
You. 'Hey guys, did you get any of that weird winter storm action today after school?'
Rob. 'Nah, it was a clear sky for me'
Itai. 'Same, also I was asleep all afternoon'
You. 'Strange, I got caught on this whirlwind on my way back home from the store, just my luck I guess >:('
Both of the boys. 'Lol yea'
Putting the phone down and chomping on some of the snacks, you thought about the events, it was indeed a clear sky earlier, only a couple of common clouds you took pictures of before it. You grabbed the phone again, quickly to see if any of the photos looked good.
"Pleasepleaseplease" you muttered in excitement, it was a very cute view, hopefully one picture captured it nicely.
And they did, a couple looked stunning, you smiled, thinking at least it was worth getting your hair all messed up by the wind, you were about to delete one picture it since it was blurry when you noticed a different kind of blur, it was gray with splashes of green in the corner, similar to what you saw at the funeral.
"There was nothing green on the other pictures, was it?" you looked through the other photos and they were pretty normal, full of pink, purple and blue from the sunset.
You looked back at the flyer
"Betelgeuse, betelgeuse, betelgeuse huh" You said in a playful tone, grabbing the torn paper from the counter, you felt a shiver, a strong one this time, well that was the opposite of a calming experience, but still the word felt strange when you said it, it wasn't like you hadn't said before, Orion was a popular constellation, and the Betelgeuse star was on it; but this time the air inside had a tense feeling.
All the lights went off after a second "Now a blackout? What's with today ugh" picking up your phone to use as a flashlight, after a couple of seconds before you could turn it on, all the lights came back again, but you almost had a heart attack when you saw someone standing in the center of the living room, enveloped in a green mist.
"FUCK wh- WHO THE FUCK-" you stuttered before turning around and grabbing the closest thing to use as a weapon, a wooden spoon used for beating eggs this morning "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE? WHO ARE YOU? GET OUT!"
The figure was a man, taller than you, dressed in a striped black and white suit, dark hair with green tints at the end, a wicked smile plastered on his face, he took a look around, then back to you, endless chills went down your spine when you met his eyes, you could feel the tense aura from before growing stronger, anticipating, colder.
"Well who might I be? You should know, you called my name baby! Glad to make some business with you tonight!" He said as he extended a hand and walked, floated? quickly towards a paralized you, frozen in place, you only managed to put the spoon up in self defense from whomever this man could be, the lights were out for just a few seconds, was he inside the apartment all this time?
"S-stop right there you!" tried to threaten the man with the wooden tool, he didn't seem to notice nor care, wrapping an arm around your shoulders, then placing a sloppy kiss in your face, petrified, you shivered and gripped the spoon harder, he felt oddly cold.
...Did he just kiss you? Who does he think he is??
"No no, no stopping now! We just got started cakes, and now that you said my name three times, I can finally interact with you and everything here in the world of the living! Gotta say thanks it's been real boring being invisible for so long lemme tell ya-"
*WHACK*
You hit the man in the head with the wooden spoon as hard as you could.
...the spoon broke.
The man's smile grew wider

BOYFRIEND!WINWIN
includes:
♡ before the relationship
♡ becoming comfortable/humour
♡ relationship with other members
♡ jealousy/pda/flirting
♡ disagreements
♡ dates/texting/social media
♡ languages/“i love you”
masterlist
enjoy!
wc: 1.2k
Tumblr media
♡ before the relationship ♡
you probably met through one of the other members tbh
winwin tended to be shy around you at first
but he was also always friendly and made sure to include you in conversations and make sure you were comfortable
there wasn’t a definitive time you realised you had a crush on him
you just kinda woke up one day and were like “aw fawk i’m really whipped for winwin, huh”
winwin had liked you for awhile too but was too shy to tell you
so you slowly started acting more affectionate with each other without ever actually confessing
we’re talking cuddling and doing cute shit for each other
and then one day someone says something like “oh your boyfriend isn’t with you today?” and you realise just how much you two seem like a couple
so you eventually decide to just tell winwin you like him and at first he’s like “that’s cool”
but he puts you out of your misery and says he likes you too
♡ becoming comfortable/humour ♡
you both don’t make a big deal out of becoming an official couple since you were already acting like one anyway
for the most part, winwin just endures your humour
when you’re joking with/about him he just kinda sits there like “damn am i really dating this clown?”
and sometimes he will put you in your place by coming up with a sick burn or really funny joke
so you’re just like “damn i have no comeback for that lol”
but it’s very affectionate
when he gets more comfortable being in a relationship he becomes kinda clingy
he doesn’t like skinship with his members but will hang off you like a koala lmao
just really wants to be around you all the time
winwin loves being in your company and why wouldn’t he? you’re the person he decided to be with so of course he’s going to spend as much time with you as possible
you know he’s getting really comfortable when he just talks
like when i say talk, this dude doesn’t stop talking
will talk your ear off about anything
literally word vomit but it’s cute because he’s talking without thinking because he’s so comfortable around you
in terms of cuddling, you’d lowkey been doing this before you even started dating
i could see winwin as really wanting you to show affection towards him
so he would like to be the little spoon and have your arms around him
but he loves you heaps so he wouldn’t mind being the big spoon either
♡ relationship with other members ♡
when you tell the rest of wayv that you and winwin are dating, they’re all like “wait, i thought you guys were already dating before”
they tend to stay out of winwin’s love life
he’s honestly the only member the rest don’t tease about being in a relationship
and that’s because they’re all jealous of you LMAOO
you’re getting the affection from winwin that they’ve been fighting for for years so they all envy you
in nct he is the one the neos are usually flirting with, not the other way around
they just might try to beat you to cuddle with winwin lol
but also they really like you and think you’re a good match for winwin so they fully support you
♡ jealousy/pda/flirting ♡
in terms of jealousy i don’t think winwin is the type to get jealous easily
if someone was flirting with you though, i can’t really see him confronting the person about it (unless you’re super uncomfortable)
he’d just kinda sit there watching and when you told the person you already had boyfriend and they left, he’d come over and kiss your cheek or something
he’s also not very keen on any pda
but as mentioned before he might do little acts of pda if only to show other people you’re not available
when you’re alone he’s all over you with hugs and kisses haha
he’s also not a massive flirter
at least not on the level of ten or lucas
he prefers to whisper sweet things to you when you’re alone
because of this, he turns into a stuttering shocked mess when you flirt with him
which if we’re being real is half the reason you do it in the first place lol
♡ disagreements? ♡
i couldn’t imagine you arguing with winwin about much
because realistically he finds disagreements tiring and a waste of time when he could be showering you with love instead
but one thing that kind of bothers you is that he seems secretive sometimes
i said before that he just talks and talks when he’s with you but that’s not necessarily about him, it’s just random thoughts that pop into his head
he’s not deliberately keeping secrets from you
it’s just a lot of time he doesn’t feel the need to share everything going on in his life with you
like, he doesn’t find stuff about his own life interesting enough to share?
so he thinks you wouldn’t really care/need to know either
you’ve never had an argument about this or anything
is more just something that irks you sometimes
but ultimately it’s not really a big deal
anyway let’s talk about cute things
♡ dates/texting/social media ♡
i can see winwin enjoy more lowkey dates
if you were to do something that shows your love for him in public he’d be very embarrassed lol
he prefers low-effort dates like a picnic or movie date
ones where you can just sit together and enjoy each others company while you forget the rest of the world for a moment
because he’s clingy, he misses you heaps when he goes away
so he always messages you asking what you’re doing, or telling you what him and the rest of wayv are doing
winwin is pretty good at texting you frequently
hes not going to bombard you with texts but he makes sure he texts you at least once every day
about 50% of his social media is you/selfies with you
homie doesn’t even care if you both look terrible in them
because in his eyes you look amazing in every photo #flawless
he isn’t the type to hype you up in your comment section
but instead, on every single selfie of yours, he’d put a heart and maybe an occasional “wow 😍” lol
although if you posted something random (not your face) he’d comment about it
so if you posted your pet he would say something like “waaa [pet name] is getting so big nowadays!”
♡ languages/“i love you” ♡
his preferred language to speak in is chinese (mandarin) or korean
could probably struggle through english if he really wanted to but there’d be heaps of miscommunication
but he would learn your native/prefered langauge too if you wanted
don’t get me wrong, he would totally complain the whole time about how hard it is to learn the language
but he’d do it anyway lol
i think he would be the first to say “i love you”?
he would be super shy and mumble it so you barely even heard it first
you’d kind of understand what he said but ask him to say it again just to tease him
and he would initially refuse and just say if you didn’t hear him the first time that’s your problem
but he’d say it again lol
when you say “i love you” to him he acts completely different
he’s like “of course you do, i’m me” but when you playfully hit him he’s like “just kidding ily too”
awww anyway let’s show lots of love to winwin bc god knows sm doesn’t

can we think about a post season 3 situation where billy didn’t die and was adopted by Hop and btw Hop is still in Hawkins and Alexei is alive and they’re all one big weird as fuck family with the Byers and Billy is dating Steve and everything is good???
bc i’ve been thinking about Hop and Joyce inviting Murray and Alexei over to their house bc they promised Murray to invite him over for dinner... or something... and he’s a little crazy and intimidating and they dragged him around with them on a crazy adventure where he got shot at multiple times so they felt a little bad saying no, so on a late summer evening Joyce opens the door to Murray (2 cherry slurpees in hand) and Alexei (3 cherry slurpees in hand and arm) bc Murray told Alexei all about how Joyce and Hop FINALLY got together and they have 4 kids that they mashed into their little family, so Alexei made sure to buy one for each kid (even though Murray assured him that 2 are 17 yrs old and probably won’t care very much??? that thought doesn’t make sense to Alexei though, and he buys all 5 anyway)
so hard-cut to 10 minutes later where Will and Jonathan and Joyce and Hop and Murray are hanging around the kitchen, the two younger boys listening to Murray talk about crazy conspiracy theories and giving each other wry glances bc this dude is off his rocker but it’s kind of hilarious. They’re both drinking their respective slurpees, tongues quickly turning red and it makes them giggle when the other talks. El and Alexei are sitting on the couch watchin Looney Tunes, Alexei chattering excitedly when he finds it on TV. El looks at the man confusedly, sipping her slurpee and then pointing at the TV.
“Looney Tunes.”
Alexei gives her a confused look back, pointing and saying something in Russian.
That goes back and forth a couple of times, Hopper watching with Joyce and questioning this entire interaction bc how the fuck????? is this supposed to work???????????? like?? how is his little 14 yr old girl once raised as a lab rat going to understand this Russian man?
but look me in the damn eye and tell me that Eleven wouldn’t be just as patient as Joyce and accept that burden of conversation bc like hell she wouldn’t. that girl sits there and attempts to say the russian words the man is saying to her and Alexei’s eyes LIGHT UP bc this is the first person who has tried to speak russian to him that isn’t Murray and he’s so excited!!! it’s really fucking bad and butchered but wow hearing someone so young trying to speak his mother tongue is so exciting!! she’s not forcing him to speak English, she’s attempting to know his language and so he smiles a thousand watt smile and nods his head and says it again and they share a giggly exchange of speaking each others’ lanuauges and Joyce smacks Hopper in excitement bc look at their little girl!! the compassion in her little body is so amazingly big!!!! And Hopper rubs his arm, a shocked smile on his face.
anyway, Billy stumbles in with Steve, the two with the goofiest grins on their face and those two faces go very red when they see legit the entire family + 2 random men and it’s??? so confusing??? and Billy is immediately a bit on guard, but obviously a little high or something bc he’s still smiling a bit goofily as he gestures to Steve and says: I brought over my boyfriend.
and Steve is appalled, face red as he assures “we’re not boyfriends! just friends! he’s just m-”
“They know, Steve. I told them.”
and Jonathan just chuckles into his slurpee, shaking his head in amusement. Will still can’t really look Billy in the eye bc seeing Billy being so openly and happily gay (and so openly and happily hot as fuck) makes his face red and he can’t... handle it...
so anyway, i have more for this but this feels so long and I’m thinking of writing a very short and very shitty fic about this bc i have 3 other fics in progress right now and i can’t finish any of them bc i suck so here we goooo... if you wanna hear more hit me up here or @pointeful (my main blog) bc i’m such a fucking mess and always wanna speak to people!! ♥

poetry —  kim seungmin
word count: 2k
summary: why are crushes so difficult?
Tumblr media
“why are crushes so difficult?”
this was kim seungmin’s dilemma.
he flops down on his best friend’s bed, glaring at the romance movie posters plastered on the walls.
“what’s so difficult about them, minnie? they’re fun! you get butterflies and blushy and you start trying to write poetry...all that fun stuff?” his best friend, hwang hyunjin, didn’t even look up from his notes to speak.
hyunjin was the sappiest, most love-filled person seungmin knew. he loved romance movies and dating and being in love.
seungmin, on the other hand, had never had a crush before. sure, he’s been attracted to people, but no …. poetic thoughts.
“p-poetry?”
“yeah. do you….oh my god.” hyunjin stood from his desk chair, “do you write poetry about y/n?”
“n-no!”
“KIM SEUNGMIN.” and he pounced. he landed right next to seungmin on the bed, hands coming out to smack at the younger boy as he squealed.
“show it to me, show it to me!!!! i’m your best friend, minnie!”
“WHICH IS WHY IT’S WEIRD GET AWAY FROM ME-”
hyunjin huffed, his bottom lip jutting out.
“fine. but you’re really whipped, you know.”
“yeah. tell me about it.”
“okay! well, for example, today y/n came into the lunchroom and you spilled your milk-”
“HYUNJIN I DIDN’T MEAN- okay.” seungmin sighed, turning to face the boy he ‘unfortunately’ called his best friend, “what do i do?”
“have you ever thought about, i dunno, confessing?”
“eat my shorts.”
hyunjin went back to his desk, returning his attention to his math homework, “then sit and be in love and fucking Perish.”
it wasn’t seungmin’s fault he didn’t wanna confess!!
maybe he would confess if everyone else wasn’t >:(((
he understood that you were like … super pretty and nice and smart and perfect in every way (◕ ◡ ◕)
but it was like someone new confessed to you Every Day
even people from other schools!!!! >:(((
one day, he was leaving the school, and he saw you on the sidewalk with a boy from ur school’s Rival School
and the boy was blushing >:( and he had a flower in his hand >:(
but u rejected him!
just like u rejected Everyone
and he didn’t understand,,,
u could have Anyone U Wanted
whatever! he liked u better single
it meant he still maybe had a chance :(
to be honest, seungmin doesn’t remember when he first starting liking u
maybe it was when you two got paired up in chemistry and you knew Nothing about chemistry
“okay so put in one drop of the clear.”
“w-what’s in the clear?”
“it’s water, y/n.”
“oh!” and you blushed and seungmin’s heart went JFSGJSKH
or maybe it was during hoco when he was just chilling, drinking some punch, chomping on a cookie
and you came up to him :((( all shy :((( and u looked SO GOOD
and you asked him to dance with you
yeah he choked on his cookie a little bit but then that boy was ON THE DANCE FLOOR
surprisingly, seungmin Did know how to dance
being best friends with the co-captain of the dance team since kindergarten has its perks!
u were a lil shocked too like that mf just Took You In His Arms and started swaying and u were like HUH????
when did seungmin become a MAN
he didn’t, he’s just a very sophisticated Boy.
hyunjin thinks seungmin started liking you when you first met
seungmin thinks hyunjin is fucking stupid
he was FIVE and all seungmin cared about when he was 5 was sour gummy worms
“isn’t that all u care about now?”
“sour gummy worms AND Y/N!!!”
so yeah, seungmin was #whipped
AND THE POETRY THING KSJGSKGJ ok hear him out
it was 4am and he had spent like 30 years studying for a chemistry test and he was stressed to the Max and just wanted to lay down
and when he lays down, his mind naturally turns to U
and in his sleep deprived state his mind was just . Mush .
so he dragged his body back to his desk and just ~wrote~
yeah, he couldn’t look you in the eye the next day but he got his feelings out.
he couldn’t help his crush on u, especially when u were in his group of friends
hyunjin, jisung, felix, seungmin, you, and jeongin
sound like chaos? because It Is.
u and seungmin have basically become the parents of this little friend group
“jeongin let me see what u have”
“a knife”
“NO”
and
“How did jisung get on the ceiling.”
“FELIX TOLD ME I COUDL BE SPIDERMAN”
“JISUNG GET THE FUCK DOWN”
of course, being the parents meant a lot of … Teasing
especially from hyunjin, bc he was the only one who knew about seungmin’s crush
hyunjin: so when’s the wedding :D
seungmin, halting his onion slicing: Excuse Me?
you: hehe whenever seungmin’s ready!!  i know he wants to go to law school first!!
seungmin, chopping onions at LIGHTNING SPEED: HAHAHA OKAY Y/N
you always said things like that and it made him JFKDJK
one time the others were teasing him bc he dyed his hair red and they kept calling him cherry and u just went:
“so WHAT if he looks like a cherry he’s my CUTE cherry” and u grabbed his hand and glared at everyone like -__________-
seungmins brain: WHW-WW LIPSTICK
seungmins heart: H UHU H MECEHRY
seungmins mouth: YOU- WHAT - HUH- ME?
and after that :(((( u started calling him cherry :((( even after he dyed his hair again :((
back to the main point: seungmin’s whipped and he doesn’t know how much longer he can take this but he Won’t Confess
hyunjin’s got a plan!
he calls it How Does Y/N Feel and he swears it’s a secret
it’s not, he wrote it on his whiteboard in pretty pastel markers
“what’s this plan of yours, sweetie?”
“MOM CAN U GET OUT IM A SECRET AGENT”
“ok mr secret agent come downstairs and eat your peas”
“MOM”
so basically his plan was to ask if u liked seungmin but hes VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT OK
“hey y/n~~~” he sang as he sat down next to you in geometry.
“jinnie!!! how are you today :D” ugh look at you, an angel.
“good, about to be better...or worse.”
“why?”
“i need to ask you something.”
“Ominous!”
“do you like seungmin?”
“ya.”
hyunjin: OUSUGH?
you: how did u say that out loud
“YOU LIKE SEUNGMIN-”
you slapped a hand over his mouth, “KEEP YOUR FUCKING MOUTH SHUT JESUS CHRIST-
i thought you knew i like him??? like...i’m not hiding it?”
hyunjin knew seungmin wouldn’t believe it if he just told him
so he was audio recording the whole thing on his phone :) what a sneaky dude
so after geometry ended he fuckign NYOOOMED to english
“SEUNGMIN SEUNGMIN SEUNGMING HSJG SJISEUGMGING”
“dude did u do crack or something holy shit-”
“SHUT UP LISTEN TO THIS.”
“if this is another one of your boyfriend’s songs i swear to god-”
but he put in hyunjin’s earbuds (not airpods) anyway
“t-this isn’t jisung….”
and he Listened
I Thought You Knew I Like Him.
“are u fucking with me jin. is this a fucking skit i swear to god if you're MESSING WITH ME-”
“they don’t even know i was recording them.” hyunjin giggled, the snake.
“oh so you’re a total douche.”
“i just did you the hugest favor and you just called me a douche...okay! friendship cancelled, give me my phone, put your stupid airpods back in-”
“don’t call them Stupid!”
“sorry, i can’t hear you, i don’t have my STUPID AIRPODS IN!”
seungmin couldn’t concentrate for the entirety of english
your words kept swirling around his brain, and he resorted to just doodling hearts on the margins of his papers.
and then he went to Chemistry!
there you were :((( in your cute little lab coat and safety goggles :(((
seungmin didn’t think anyone would ever pull off a lab coat and goggles like you did
“h-hey y/n…”
“hey cherry! ready to make some chemistry? :D”
he inhaled, knowing that there was a chance he was going to regret his next statement for the rest of his life:
“i think you and i already have enough chemistry.”
now it was ur turn to JKSGJKH
you flushed a bright pink, turning to your lab table to hide the shy smile growing on your face
“yeah?” your voiced cracked a little bit
and seungmin knew
“yeah.”
class went by quickly, with the two of you exchanging Looks before quickly looking away
and then you had lunch! and since you ate lunch together, you walked together
this time, You wanted to be the daring one
so you were walking through the halls side by side
and after a minute you just …. Held His Hand a little bit
and he squeezed your hand in return and your tummy felt like JAOGHNJ
then you entered the cafeteria and your friends’ eyes immediately went ZOOM on your interlocked hands
“W-W-W-WHAT IS THIS?” jeongin, the poor baby, spluttered
“are you out of the loop? they’re in love!” jisung was practically shooting heart eyes at the two of you
“no one tells me anything.” jeongin pouted
“are we Not In Love, jisung.”
“jinnie u know i love you but this is FRESH and it’s FUN let me ogle.”
“JISUGN???”
felix just smiled at you two, patting the space next to him, “i always knew this was gonna happen.”
“what are you losers talking about?” seungmin asked.
“yeah, nothing happened. seungmin and i are just friends.”
“you- just- HUH????”
“he hasn’t asked me out yet.” you shrugged, pulling your lunch box out of your backpack.
seungmin gasped, dropping your hand to cover his heart, “do i have to?”
“i deserve it, you animal. i’ve only been waiting since middle school.”
MIDDLE SCHOOL???
well, this was a shock.
“MIDDLE SCHOOL???”
“yeah? you kicked that dude in the shin for me. it was nice. no one’s ever done that for me before.”
“t-the shins? you started liking him over a shin kick, y/n?” felix deadpanned.
“i was like 13 can you shut the fuck up? i don’t just like him because he kicked a guy in the shins for me.”
“oh? why else do you like him?”
“we’re not having this conversation right now, jeongin.”
“oh hell yes we are.”
“SEUNGMIN??”
but he just :D at you and you were whipped so :///
“Okay! i like him because he’s...just a good guy. like he’s smart and he’s funny and he’s….really cute and he would probably kick jisung in the shin if i asked him to.”
“i would.”
“bet!”
“okay!”
“hey what no- OW SEUNGMIN!” jisung whined, pulling his leg up on the seat
“kiss it better jinnie-”
“jisung no.”
“JINNIE :((((“
you grinned, looking over at seungmin.
he was already looking, and you could practically See the heart eyes he was sending you.
did it make you super flustered? yeah. did you mind? not really.
“so,” you leaned in closer, speaking quiet enough so that your friends couldn’t hear over whatever they were yelling about this time, “you gonna ask me out or not?”
“i’ll walk you home?”
“i’ll be waiting.”
the rest of the day went by Painfully slow
but after your last class, there he was !!!!
and he was walking you home !!!
and he held your hand !!!!
“let me get something from my house real quick.” seungmin lived closer to the school than you did, so you always passed by his house.
you waited on the porch while he ran outside
he came back in a minute, flushed and holding a folded piece of paper.
“here.” he shoved the paper in your hand, taking your free hand in his and dragging you along.
“MINNIE let me read this!!!!” you whined.
he sighed, stopping on the sidewalk to let you read it clearly.
you had to reread a few lines because they were just so pretty.
you didn’t expect something like this from seungmin, he was usually so direct and not so flowery.
but it was beautiful.
“why are you crying WHAT’S WRONG IS IT BAD-”
“SEUNGMIN HHHHHHH” you launched yourself at him, wrapping your arms tightly around his waist.
and he held you just back as tightly.
“so uh. do you wanna like….go out with me or something?”
“yes, you big dummy. i would love to.”

Rushing to ask about your French philosophy AU SO FAST spill the tea or rather it being French spill the coffee and house red
oh thank GOD
right ok first off read this
so. roger has just moved into a new flat. for context he is a FRAZZLED masters student. it’s first semester and he’s ta-ing like. three classes as well? he wants to DIE. he’s doing a masters in philosophy because.... of course he is, he knows, he hates himself too. but he fucking fell in love with philosophy in undergrad and his supervisor has been grooming him since his first year and now. here he is. seriously considering a phd. 
anyway so sometimes? sometimes philosophy just makes More Sense when you’re tripping okay, it just does. if you take notes? sometimes u wake up the next morning and realise you have New Insights that haven’t already been dissected to pieces
(his undergrad thesis was 1000000% written high like. almost all of it. he got a first. by a large margin. he’s still salty that the same technique doesn’t work with biology but whatever)
ANYWAY so he’s just chillin. tripping. and then he starts to get a lil para because this is a New Enclosed Space so he’s like right shit fuck i gotta leave im gonna go to the park all is good
anyway as he leaves his neighbour is letting himself into his flat and said neighbour (john) is like “oh, hi! i’m john. you must be the new move in!”
(john is working on social interaction with his therapist at the moment. she told him that he has to introduce himself to people and that waiting for people to introduce themselves while he gives off big Do Not Fuck With Me vibes is not conducive to the creating of lasting relationships. he’s trying.)
and roger who is tripping balls responds in french, because of course he does
and john? sweet john is like. oh oh i’m sorry i don’t speak french
so roger mumbles something vaguely french sounding under his breath and makes a run for it
and anyway he hangs out at the park, writes some insightful notes about philosophy in his notes on his phone and then heads back home where OF COURSE john is leaving his apartment again and greets him with a shy ‘bonjour’ to which roger replies with ‘au revoire’ and locks himself back into his apartment because he’s a high idiot
anyway the next morning roger is like. oh fuck. im a moron. 
and he has two options. firstly: he can come clean to his nice seeming neighbour, laugh off that no he’s actually not french he was just... off his nut. or secondly: he can pretend to be french 
and roger is a fucking idiot because he decides to go with the second option. it’s not as if he’s going to be running into this guy often, after all! they’re neighbours not roommates
except. john has been told by his therapist to be more outgoing. and instead of, idk, joining a club or a sportsteam to meet new people he has decided that the french guy next door is the Perfect Candidate. he is a) not going to understand half the shit john says and b) hot as fuck
so. john signs up for french classes. because, of course he does.
and he keeps???? running into roger???? and it’s fine at first because roger knows a bit of french? like he can read it passably but he can’t converse in it. his supervisor has been trying to get him to learn french for YEARS and he’s been refusing but he knows enough/can bullshit enough for the first couple of months but then he realises, to his horror, that john seems..... to be? getting better at french. he’s clearly actually learning french
and so roger. has to learn french. it’s been three months, it’s much too late for him to. come clean now, especially now that he has the world’s biggest fucking crush on this dude like. this is clearly the only option
(his tutor is dominique. she is living for the drama.)
and so the next like. 8 months? are just the two of them. learning french. john is learning french to converse with roger who is learning french at a slightly faster pace so that john doesnt realise he doesn’t know french while also pretending to slowly learn english to keep up the facade 
it all unravels almost a year to the day it began
john enrolls in an intro to philosophy class? as an elective? and who happens to be leading his tutorial class but roger?
(”roger” is, of course, pronounced fucking horrifically because roger just..... said his name with a fucking awful french accent that first time he said hi to john in the hallway and it stuck. he couldnt undo it. it’s..... it’s so bad.)
and roger, seeing john walk in, is like. oh fuck. like. again he has two options? he can a) just. out himself and speak in english or b) teach the entire class, of english speaking students, in french
he chooses the latter. 
he gets about five minutes in until a student he’s had in the past asks why the fuck he’s speaking french in a class about greek classical philosophy
john is clearly starting to catch on so roger has to give up the ghost
“and THAT is why you should all learn french. the french philosophical school is really so important--”
john just straight up opens his laptop, unenrolls, and walks out because... he feels like an idiot? this guy has clearly just been taking the piss out of him this whole time, probably laughing it up with his friends about how stupid he is. and it’s worse for the amount of effort john put in, like. it’s horrible and unfair, and he can’t believe that he ever thought someone like that would ever be interested in him in the first place, even just as a friend. he’s so stupid
and roger is freaking out because fuck fuck fuck fuck he really fucking likes john and he’s an idiot 
(john’s therapist is mostly just confused at this point like. it seems unlikely that someone would have put in the time and effort to prank him in this elaborate manner but john’s like NOPE THIS IS PROOF THAT EVERYONE HATES ME ON SIGHT I CAN NEVER INTERACT WITH ANYONE AGAIN)
and so. john avoids the HELL out of roger who after a couple of weeks of trying to catch him just. gives up? bc yeah, he wouldn’t wanna talk to him either he’s clearly a weirdo. he doesn’t wanna be a stalking weirdo too.
anyway one day john opens his door to find some random (freddie) passed out on roger’s doorstep? bc roger went out the night before, as did freddie, but they did not coordinate their nights out and as such have ended up closer to one another’s apartments and decided to crash with one another except. neither is home. 
and freddie wakes up when john opens his door, sees him, and screeches
and john’s like. ok im gonna go goodbye
but freddie is like!!!!! oh my god oh my god you’re john
and john puts two and two together (strange man at roger’s doorstep? probably knows roger) and is like fuck. ok like yeah y’all had ur laughs i’m an idiot lets move on now i have to go
and freddie is???? you’re an idiot???? roger learned french because he had a crush on you and didn’t know how to tell you he wasn’t french after he got so high he started speaking a language he doesn’t know
and john’s like right yeah whatever
but freddie is!!!!! you’re a legend. an actual Legend you don’t even know. everyone knows about you, they’re going to freak when they find out i met you!!!! roger wouldn’t let anyone around for a year in case we gave him away!!!!! i can’t believe this oh my god, will you take a selfie with me??? like we all stalked you on fb obviously but it’s not the same as meeting u in person y’know??
and john is like. uh. no i dont know. ive never stalked anyone on facebook which has freddie like yeah. obviously. if you had you’d have rumbled roger much earlier 
and john’s like ok thanks for the reminder im an idiot. didn’t need it, but thanks
but freddie’s like dude i just think so highly of you??? i mean you just thought the blonde hottie across the hall was french and went for it y’know????? i’ve never learnt another language for a dick appointment but i appreciate craftsmanship when i see it and believe me when i say you, sir, are a god amongst men
can i shake your hand?
(brian, confused at the pub the week after the first incident: okay but. you know greek? why didn’t you just..... speak greek?roger: I DON’T KNOW BRIAN I WAS OFF MY FUCKING NUT OKAY?)
and anyway
roger’s thesis actually ends up being on 19th century french philosophy because. he knows french now
his dedication page reads[in english] to my supervisor, who i would not learn french for[in french] and john, for who i did not have to learn french for, but did anyway

Saturday in Corporate Grooming
Dude called the salon, told his story to groomer D. D puts him on hold bc she has a dog on her table. I pick up and he is angry that she has not relayed his story to me before I picked up. Tells me he doesn't have the time for this and that it's poor customer service. Tells me the story. Rebooking an appointment he swears he made but I have no record of ever existing. To tomorrow. I tell him we are booked two weeks out right now, but I'd be happy to give him the first available. He starts hollering to someone with him, tells me to hold on, AND PUTS ME ON HOLD. Comes back, argues further....in the end the manager called him back, explained what had happened (he never made a damn appointment). Dude is very nice to the male manager, compliments him on how professionally he handled it. Mind you, he yelled at ME, and I'm the one who played detective for half an hour figuring out what happened. This was in the middle of Saturday rush. Client who comes in every three months or so with his bully breed mix for a bath. Dog is a sweet boy, but smells horrendous no matter how many times we bathe him, senior, diabetic, is strictly an outside dog. Dude runs tearing into the salon bc our vet closed an hour ago. His dog is in the back seat of his Jeep, he thinks dog is dying. Salon Manager (who is also a vet tech) and I drop everything and sprint to his car. She asks some questions, decides there is nothing she can do (dog is limp, white gums, glazed eyes, and struggling heavily to breathe) and tells him how to get to the closest vet ER. Back inside she calls ahead to tell them to expect him, and admits she doesn't think the dog will survive long enough to get there. It was 97° where we are with horrible humidity. In her questions he admitted dog had been chained outside with a tree for shade, but not access to water. From my interactions with him in the past I truly believe he loves his dog. I am LIVID that he didn't figure out that if it's too hot for him, it's too hot for the dog. (State law here is that dogs must be in a temperature controlled environment when it is above 90° or below 20°.) My favorite corgi puppy came in (5 months) and was a sassy little booger. We bribed him with treats and managed not to suffer sharp little teeth. Itty bitty Yorkie with a full show length coat came in for a first time appointment. She was 9 y/o and weighed 4 lbs. A total angel, but hard to do her face because she wants all the kisses. Woman gets mad when we turn her dog away because we can't even touch him to do the consult he's so aggressive. We told her he'd probably do better on a weekday when it's slow, especially since he's never been groomed. Proceeds to grumble and storm out. I am currently in a cast with a broken arm and can't groom. Several request clients stop in to see me and book appointments for as soon as the cast is off. Made my heart smile. All the clients who are non native speakers want to book with me because I'm the best at understanding (because I'm hard of hearing so I depend a lot on context clues anyway, and have patience) their accented English. My favorites are those that speak Slavic languages because they tend to be very emotive and passionate in their speech patterns. I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff, but it's late and I gotta go to bed.

Do them all. Suffer as I did 😂
Bitch I told you this was our friendship. We force each other to answer all the questions. 
1. selfie
Well… I wasn’t dubbed Selfie Queen for nothing… 
Tumblr media
This one is interesting bc I have zero makeup on. The most recent ones are too blurry. A lot of my fav selfies are full faces of makeup tho. 
2. what would you name your future kids?
I feel like that’s a decision for both parents but I really like the names Felicity, Isabella and Dimitri. Yes, all of them are names from various franchises I enjoyed throughout the years. Be glad I’m out of my phase where I thought Vladimir was a good name. 
3. do you miss anyone?
I miss all my friends I don’t get to see frequently. Love all of y’all and hope y’all are doing well in life! 
4. what are you looking forward to?
Fucking graduating. Jesus Christ it’s taken me five damn years. 
5. is there anyone who can always make you smile?
From my club it’s Chris, Yara and Josephine. Also my entire friend group from back home. Honestly I love my friends so much. 
6. is it hard for you to get over someone?
I feel like every situation is different so that’s a tough question to answer. 
7. what was your life like last year?
I honestly don’t remember much from December of last year. It was a good time though. 
8. have you ever cried because you were so annoyed?
I’m an emotional bitch. I’ll cry over anything. I cried over fucking Mulan the other day. 
9. who did you last see in person?
My parents and brother. Earlier in the day my club. 
10. are you good at hiding your feelings?
I’m shit at it. My face gives away everything. The other day my professor was going into her inspiration porn narrative and I just gave her a cold dead look the entire time. 
11. are you listening to music right now?
No but I have the Hamilton soundtrack stuck in my head right now since that’s what I was last listening to. If you haven’t heard it I highly suggest it. Man I wanna see it so badly. 
12. what is something you want right now?
Sleep but I’m trying not to throw off my sleep schedule right now and am waiting a bit before going to bed. I only got three hours of sleep last night so that’s fun. 
13. how do you feel right now?
Kinda tired. Relieved that I got two service projects in a row done today. It’s been a long weekend. 
14. when was the last time someone of the opposite sex hugged you?
My friend Sebastian hugged me when I dropped him off. I guess that counts. 
15. personality description
I’m a makeup loving nerd who enjoys sitting in pajamas watching anime and superheros as much as she enjoys swatching EVERY lipstick in Sephora. According to my friends I can’t go 5 seconds without mentioning how old I feel and my love for Dungeons and Dragons. I’m also an asshole. (Wow this sounds like a 12 year old writing this)
16. have you ever wanted to tell someone something but you didn’t?
Yeah tons of times. It’s bitten me in the ass. Oh well live and learn I guess? 
17. opinion on insecurities.
Everyone has them? If they say they don’t then they are lying. Mine is mainly related to my appearance or how I speak. 
18. do you miss how thing were a year ago?
I miss how things were in the beginning of this year. It started off strong then kinda turned into a shit show. 
19. have you ever been to New York?
No but it’s my top thing on my bucket list. My friends and I are highly considering a trip. 
20. what is your favourite song at the moment?
Of all time: Get Low by Lil Jon 
Currently: “Told You So” by Little Mix (If you haven’t heard their new album I highly suggest it if you love girl groups that preach women empowerment) 
21. age and birthday?
22 - June 21st (She’s a Cancer)
22. description of crush.
I don’t have a hardcore crush right now. More like 5 second crushes that are over the second they do something I don’t like. 
Edit: Currently “celebrity?” crush is Nathan Sharp. I am seriously considering dropping $55 to see him at a convention this month. 
23. fear(s)
Heights, something terrible happening to my loved ones, wild snakes, and the usual common anxiety fears 
24. height
Five foot three inches. I’m short. Yes I know it’s not that short but tall people like to put me in the short category anyway. 
25. role model
My mom’s coworker who was my internship supervisor. She has a doctorate’s in what I want to do and is amazing at what she does. The amount of knowledge and experience that women has is incredible. She is also extremely funny and knows how to teach with a sense of humor which I appreciate.

I completely programmed my brother’s communication device by myself 
32. are your friends mainly girls or guys?
Now my friends are mainly girls but when I lived in Tampa 90% of my friends over there were guys (Hi Mason). I’m going to say that’s bc of us all playing video games in the Delta lounge (RIP Dirty D). But yeah now it’s mainly girls and 80% of my dude friends are gay. 
33. something you want to learn
Sign Language. Ice skating. Hairstyling. Fashion (I’m trying to be better about putting clothes together). Also I’m down to learn more about makeup and techniques 
34. most embarrassing moment
Either farting while doing an air guitar in front of my entire girl scout troop
or signing to my friend that I liked her friend at a party and his brother repeated what I had signed out loud in front of everyone
wait. No. When I F U C K E D  up in front a super hot guy while volunteering and then chose an 18 year old jock as my wingman. 18 year olds are dumbasses. Don’t use them as wingmen. Fuck you Khaled.

Last year I got mistaken twice in a row within an hour for a middle schooler. I was 21 at at that time. During my internship one of the parents asked me if I had any kids. I’m either mistaken as a parent or as a 13-15 year old. There is no in between.

Forgotten (Jeno)
Tumblr media
Gif Credit
word count: 2312
An au where you and jeno were the duo in school, and you were close friends when you two were little, but as soon as you transferred to a different school, you lost contact with him.
A/N: i miss writing so here i am, and i’m making this female reader bc it’s easier on me and i end up using female pronouns like halfway through writing. this might get really messing, just a warning bc all of this is literally from my head. for once this is really bad sorry
I know it’s mentioned in the description but you two were the duo in school
Like THE DUO
And you two were adorable together when you guys were young
You guys would always pair up when it’s a co-ed project
Even though jeno has other friends when it comes to having to work with the same gender
You don’t,,,,
You didn’t rely on jeno for communication or anything
Interacting just wasn’t your thing
Even though that’s pretty much used in every scenario but oh well
Then a few months into the second year in school together, your mom decided to move back to the states
Why?
Family issues
We’re not gonna get into that
You feel like you forgot how to speak english bc of how often you talk to jeno erugiherg
And with that, your parents decided to get you a new phone
Your dumb butt decided not to transfer your contacts as you just thought you were gonna never talk to them again
You still have that phone, but it’s dead bc you never charge it
You still continue your path of singing and dancing, but you mainly focused on singing
And you have a sibling who’s focusing on dancing
Guess it matches well
You two just used youtube to share your works
Of course your sister is more known bc you hardly use your social media nor post videos
You’re only known for your covers since it’s the audio your sibling uses for their covers
Only you used a different name to go by on social media, bc your parents wanted you to, and they wouldn’t let you if you used your real name
Sometimes you appear in your sibling’s videos for dance covers, and whenever someone asks who you are, your sibling just answers ‘just a friend who agreed to do a cover with me’
Yes your entire face is pretty much covered by a hat and mask
On jeno’s side of the whole story
We know what he’s doing
But he’s been focused on it so much that he basically forgot you
One day, you were searching through youtube and found a video with him as a thumbnail
You checked it out and you couldn’t help but smile in awe
It’s so nice to see your friend finally debuting
Oh yeah, your sibling knows you were close friends with jeno
Bc you talk to them on your free time
Your parents don’t hate each other, but they’re not married anymore
Sounds complicated and i’m sorry for that ewiuhgiuerhg
Apparently you live in one of the places that sm does their monthly auditions
And a few months later, when you actually have time
Your sibling tried to convince you to go with them
Honestly you were fine being a normal cover channel
Which isn’t that popular but that doesn’t stop you from singing
And you had a job too which you were completely fine with
But even your parents wanted you to go
Which means you were going
Tbh you really didn’t want to go
You knew there was training involved and you HATE training your vocals
Even though you can still speak korean perfectly fine, you feel like you're gonna end up butchering it
If you get accepted anyways
It was coming soon and you two were planning your thing
Your sibling was so good with coming up with choreography that you knew they were gonna get in
You KNEW it
You on the other hand
Not so confident
Everyone keeps telling you to be confident
You nod but you just can’t
You’re just gonna wing it since you can’t not be nervous
Then the day comes
And how nice, it was the day nct dream decided to come visit the auditions
You didn’t know that but apparently everyone else did
When your family got to the place, your nervousness skyrocketed
You were definitely not prepared for this
You wore your usual attire that you wear in your sibling’s videos
When you guys came in, many people recognized your sibling
When you guys got your numbers, you waited
While you waited, you two played games, mainly hand games
And you two stretched and then just chilled until your numbers were called
When your numbers are called, you both went
You can feel everyone staring at you
Like, why are you wearing a hat and a mask when they need to see who you are??
When you entered the room, there was nct dream and your sibling almost freaked out
You motioned them to calm down and they did
Let’s make this the we young era so they’re all wearing their sailor clothes
“Excuse me, miss, can you please take off your hat and mask?” you hear one of them say
Who said it?
Mark did, but you didn’t know who he was
You apologized and did as asked
You fixed your hair as you took off your hat and mask
Your hair is average length, so you didn’t need to worry about it getting into your face too much
You two greeted in english so they know who’s who
You guys were getting ready the dance portion of your performance
You can feel one of them staring at you
Of course it was jeno
But it was a stare as if he was trying to remember something
Yet his memory failed him
Then you guys started and BOY YOU WERE GUYS POWERFUL
You were showing off your moves when you had a solo part
And same with your sibling
You didn’t see dream’s faces, but they were surprised and amazed by both of your dancing skills
You look like you wasted so much of your energy on dancing
“Y/N, you said you were going to sing too, do you have the energy for it?” one of the judges say
You didn’t answer, instead, your sibling did
“You’re just underestimating her stamina.” they said softly, but some of the members in dream heard them
You were given a hand mic
Like a normal person would, you checked the mic, and luckily it was working
Luckily, you’ve been doing covers of english songs, and even same some songs that you wrote both in korean and english
Mostly for your sister’s dance covers but you also sing osts
Instead you just sang an english song you really like
Your sibling is standing in the back and swaying side to side as you sang
It’s seems like an emotional song, but it’s really bc how your voice is and the song
When you were done, the judges nod and wrote down something on the paper
Your sibling gave you your water bottle as you were busy clearing your dry throat
Time skip bc my uncreative butt got in the way
After your private auditions, you and your sibling got to meet again
Of course you had your hat and mask back on as you left the room
You’re dying from heat since you’re wearing all black but you couldn’t care less
Your sibling tried to get you to take off the hat and the mask while fanning you
But you refused since you were in a room with a bunch of other people who didn’t know you were the other person dancing in your sibling dance covers
Skipping again bc i’m dumb
Results came a few days later as you were just chilling and singing to a random song
“Y/N!!!!!” you hear your sibling yelling from another room
Instead of yelling back, you walk over to the room they were in
And as usual they’re in their practice room
“What.”
“Did you check your email?”
“No?”
“GO CHECK!”
“OK!”
And you went
But your sibling decided to follow you to your recording room which your dad still kept
Thank god
“Did you get in?” you ask
“Yeah, surprisingly.”
“Surprisingly? Dude, I didn’t see their face, but I’m what I saw in my side vision, those kids were surprised and impressed by your dancing!”
Your sibling laughed, “oh shut up!”
“Besides, aren’t you happy you passed?”
“I am!”
“You don’t seem like it.”
“JUST GO CHECK YOUR EMAIL!”
“OK!”
Then you checked your email
It’s not there
Your sister was confused
But then you checked your spam and there it was
You wondered why it was in your spams, but then you remembered so many people wanted to scout you and you just kept rejecting them to the point that you just ignored their emails
You clicked and there was the email
It’s in all in korean, great
And your sibling didn’t understand it bc her email was in English
You read it like a book and you made a face
“What did it say?” you sibling asked
“They accepted me, but they want me to sing face to face.”
“Why? Were you too good for just a recording?”
“Oh shut up!”
You were ready to fight your sibling
But apparently your parents were listening and willing to have you go back to korea for it
“Well, back to Seoul I guess.” you say
Luckily staying in the city isn’t an issue, since you have a family there
When your sibling and everyone else has left, you stared at your old phone
You could backup your contacts now, but all of your friend contacts are useless to you, knowing they completely forgot about you
Now you gotta plan the flight and pack or else your family is gonna rush you
By family, i just mean your sibling
Of course they’re excited, bc they’ve never been out of the states before
Then when the time came, your mom and your sister was ready
Your dad decided to stay to watch over the house
So when you guys finally made it to seoul, you guys were greeted by your family
Your sibling was so lost and you told your side of the family about them
They still seemed confused, but you’ll translate for them later
Tbh you would have done it a few months later but them you would have to go through the whole audition process again and that alone was already draining
Skipping to the part when you actually went to the building itself
Already you could feel yourself getting lost in this gigantic building
Luckily there was someone who’s willing to show you the way
Haha guess who
Lee jeno himself of course
Of course you didn’t feel any different than before
And your sibling still clung onto you and tried to hide from jeno, which caused you to walk slower than usual
Jeno turned around as he noticed how slow you were going
“Is everything okay?”
You nod
But how long has it been since you heard someone else speak korean other than your mom?
Too long
You guys just continued walking until you got to the room and you see some adults in it
“Ah, Are you Y/N?” someone in the room asked
You nodded
Probably they didn’t know who you were bc this time, you didn’t hide your face and you wore some color for once
Jeno was nice enough to stay so he could lead you out of the building
They asked you a few questions
One was what school did you go to
You just answered that you went to Seoul School of Performing Arts for a year and transferred to a general public school
Apparently they didn’t know you could speak korean well
Your sibling was surprised that you went to that school
You knew they’re going to talk so much after all this is over
Now they got to the part where you had to sing for them
God this was like the audition all over again
You expected music, but apparently they want you to sing an acapella
Your brain is like
‘I don’t do acapellas but ok’
You sang
You can feel your sibling being proud of you again
You basically used your water bottle as a mic
When you were done, you listened to the adults giving you comments
Apparently some complimented on your korean, ok then
Anyways, great news! You got accepted!!
Your sibling tackled you into a hug and you almost fell
You can hear clapping from Jeno
Then there’s someone yelling, “There you are, Jeno!”
He looked over and smile, “Sorry, I was showing someone where to go.”
They popped their heads in and found you struggling to get your sibling off
It seems like the adults have already left
“Oh, it’s them again!” one of them said
You two look over and your sibling immediately dragged you in front of them
You almost lost your balance
The kid with the purple hair laughed at you
Yep that’s chenle
But you didn’t know that
Yes this is during the we young era and i don’t remember if i mentioned that already
You introduced yourself and your sibling
They’re so pleased to meet you
They introduced themselves too
Then chenle had a thought
“Jeno-hyung, didn’t you have a friend that went to the same school as you?”
Jeno’s just ‘??? what are you talking about?’
Then chenle’s just ‘nevermind’
You look at your sibling and they just looked at you and you know how upset they are that he forgot about you
Tbh mark knows you from school too (from jeno) and luckily he remembers you
Apparently mark wanted to talk to you in private and you nodded
When you followed mark to a different room, he just sighed
“What’s wrong?” you had to ask
“It’s not about me, it’s Jeno.”
“?? what’s wrong with him??”
“Were you Jeno’s friend in school?”
Answering a question with a question is not cool mark
“Yeah… well i WAS.”
“So you kinda knew that he forgot about you?”
“Yep, and it’s not the first time a friend has forgotten about me.”

Skee Possum Ghostcrows’s analysis of the film Lady Bird which i watched in my english class and want to talk about to someone starts Now. nobody asked and i delivered ;)
it’s not like i think it was super groundbreaking or anything but it just made me think. films that make you go hmm
will tag as long post but i am not putting it under a cut sorry
first i’ll talk about things i didn’t like because i like to end on positive notes
cons:
- very straight. very heterosexual. there’s a gay guy in it and he’s actually treated fairly well, though we don’t delve deep into his story, but watching lady bird go to town on guys was an unpleasant experience that luckily the screen being too dark saved me from the worst of
i understand WHY they did it, it’s a coming of age sort of story, she’s learning and leaning into her sexuality, that’s fine, but i’m hopelessly heterophobic so i can’t help but detract points for this
- the ending was way too abrupt....i didn’t expect to see lady bird’s entire life story unfold but i feel like we needed at least a scene or two more to end on a note that didn’t feel so lacking...i kind of get it though like not everything is perfect loose-ends tied and we don’t get to see everything all the time but...it felt lacking.
- i don’t like that she went back to using the name christine. maybe it’s just the transed in me but i thought her asserting this name, this identity that she carved for herself, was really cool, and i can see how it might be considered her being “ashamed” of her name or her trying to be someone she isn’t, but....it was clearly special to her. it just. it would have been more powerful, i think, to me at least, for her to keep the name lady bird. it’s an interesting name
- speaking of her name, we never really get to know why she goes by lady bird. maybe i missed something, but i don’t think we do. i would have liked to know what significance that name had to her. maybe it was like, the dream of flying far away like a bird, that sort of thing, how birds symbolize freedom and all that. maybe that’s part of why she went back, when she realized her town wasn’t all bad. but still. just personally i think she shouldn’t have gone back to christine
neutral things:
- it was kind of weird how she was talking to that guy at a party about not believing in god. i kind of got the impression that the catholic church had made her disillusioned. it’s not necessarily bad that she still had faith (or seemed to based on that conversation), it’s just strange. maybe that was to show how she was thinking back on and regretting being so cold to her surroundings? still.
- not so 2000′s it’s sickeningly in your face but it was just 2000′s enough lmao. like, the bell bottom jeans and the flip phones and just the all around vibe...yeah
- i felt kind of bad watching lady bird leave julie to try and get in with jenna and kyle and their crowd. she didn’t seem like the type to do something like that. i can kind of understand though, peer pressure and all. and she went back in the end, so she did learn her lesson, which is good
- sometimes she would start to make a point to her mom or the church like she was stickin it to em, like the abortion assembly, but then she swerved and ended it weird. like she had us in the first half i’m not gonna lie lmfao
good things/noteworthy things:
- i thought the shots were pretty good. i mean, i don’t know a lot about the technical aspects of film (despite spending two years of high school in AVTF) but it just looked good, the colors looked good, they made sacramento look really gorgeous. which really made you ask, why does she hate it here of all places? “wrong side of the tracks” my ass...
but see, i can still understand that. i think that, when you find yourself in a bad position in life, when you’re going through a rough time, you tend to lash out on your surroundings. i did that myself with my own hometown. sometimes i still do. i think it’s a boring, stagnant place and on my worst days i think it’s a literal hellhole. but it’s not, really. i’m the hellhole. the hellhole is me. and that’s why it was a shock for her when she went to new york and kind of just did the same reckless things she was doing before. it doesn’t matter where you go, you can’t escape your problems just by moving to a different place. you can’t leave your brain in your hometown and fly a hundred miles away and be happy. you have to work on you first. a change of scenery might help but ultimately, you gotta fix you
- i found it contradictory to me in that it was really relatable while also being pretty unrelatable. when i look at lady bird as a character, i see myself. but not all of myself. not even myself as i am now. more like a piece of myself. a piece thats still in me but that largely got left behind in high school. which makes sense bc thats where she is during the course of the film
i found it relatable in just, the ways they showed the audience the experience of being an adolescent afab person. not completely, but in a lot of ways. i saw my ninth and tenth grade cis girl self a lot. 
what was unrelatable was mostly the way that while i sat around and daydreamed about being this rebellious teenager sticking it to the world, she actually went out and did it. it’s like seeing an image of who i might have been, had i acted out on my desires. and i’m not saying i wish i had done that or that i’m glad i didn’t. it’s just an observation more than anything. it’s like, my wild girl self if she had “flourished” (if you can call it that, and yeah she wasnt TOTALLY wild but like. the amount of wild, the amount of fun and rebellious that i’d wanted to be then)
- the way they talk about sex is very real, which i like. it’s funny and not too prudish or too vulgar (though i dont really have standards for too vulgar lmao). that was just cool
- i’m glad that danny was a character. yeah he was just a side dude and they didn’t touch on him being gay in depth but they didn’t really need to? like. i’m just glad it was the way it was. he didn’t die or get punished or have everyone turn against him, he just upset lady bird because he was pretty much cheating and her feelings for him had been more real than his for her. she tried to use it as an insult briefly but i don’t think it was out of real animosity, just being hurt because she’d felt betrayed. and when he broke down and cried and she stood there and held him that almost made me tear up in class oops
- this is a big huge one. the way lady bird and her mother’s relationship operated was so. SO fucking resonant with me. and i wish it wasn’t. it’s like looking in a mirror and hating what you see. i’m glad i saw it, but i hate that it’s true to me too. y’know?
the way her mother is constantly overly criticizing and making comments towards her and lady bird tries to defend herself or come back at her, the way she subtly (or overtly) suggests that lady bird will never amount to anything great and she should just settle for mediocrity
the way her mom refuses to speak to her when she’s begging her to just say something, anything to her
the way her mom acts when she takes her to the airport
the way she shames her for being financially dependent on her and assumes that she’s ungrateful when she’s just. frustrated with the situation (i understand why her mom feels that way, i understand why MY mom feels that way. but you still can’t make your kid feel like shit for costing so much to raise when they didn’t ask to be born lmao...) the scene where she says “give me a number. give me a number so when i get rich i’ll pay you back and more and never have to speak to you again” and her mom’s reply that she’ll probably never get that far? that was so real it KILLED me. that was EXACTLY something that would happen between me and my mom
and oh . ohhhhhh my god. when she’s in the changing rooms and her mom can’t come up with a nice thing to say about her dresses...and lady bird says “do you like me”
“lady bird, i love you”
“yeah....but...do you like me.”
and her mom had nothing to say
that was PAINFUL. PAINFUL...because that’s...the way i feel with my mom too
- the way that financial stress can bring emotional turmoil to an entire family was really resonant as well, which ties into that last part. i could understand her parents’ struggles and sympathize with them, but i still leaned towards siding with lady bird because while yeah she was kind of extra sometimes, and she tried to act like she was one of the rich kids bc she was ashamed, and i get how that would hurt her parents....overall she was just. frustrated with the situation. frustrated with her relationship with her mother, frustrated with her school, afraid she might not get where she wants to be, CONSTANTLY discouraged by her family and told to aim lower....whatsa girl ta do yknow?
- i loved that lady bird went to prom with julie. it was really sweet. and it’s a reach and a half but bisexual lady bird confirmed
- i think ultimately its good that she kind of realized, oh...yknow...maybe its not the town i hated. i think i actually quite like my hometown. it was just my situation. and there’s a lot about sacramento that i can appreciate. i think that was good. BUT i don’t think it should end with her going back and settling just because she made that realization. you can come to that conclusion that maybe things weren’t so bad with the place you lived, without giving up completely and moving back home. i don’t like the implication that she was wrong to want more, wrong to change her name, wrong to try and carve a place and a name for herself in the world. i don’t like the idea that her family was right all along. and it doesn’t end outright saying that, it ends super abruptly and is up to interpretation, but i really like to think she made it in new york. or at least that she made it somewhere. and that maybe her relationship with her mom got better with time. it’s what i hope for me and my mom too
and i think that’s it. thanks for listening if you liked this video smash that like button smash that subscribe button and hit the little bell so you never miss a notification. until next time!

Vent
this is not a ntam, more of a vent.. i don’t really have anyone to talk to :( sorry, it got very long, i hope that’s okay. some backstory: i’m on vacation in senegal, where my dad is from, visiting my (half)sister, living with her and her husband, it’s a big house, divided in flats basically, his mom lives here and family stays here when they’re i town.. also i don’t really identify as a woman/girl
since four days his nephew’s staying here for work. he’s abt 10 years older than me. most ppl here a very religious but he drinks and stuff, so we went out to have some beer, also he speaks english and i don’t speak french or wolof (native language here)
he was like “you can tell me anything, i’m cool” regarding drinking & smoking. he asked if i smoke weed, i said yes. we go out i have a beer, don’t even finish it. he asks a friend if he can get some weed (i didn’t ask him to). while we’re at the pub he asks me shit like if i have a bf i say no, he’s like “i can’t believe that” i’m like “i don’t want one, most guys are annoying af, can’t just chill always have to try some shit”(also i’m not interested in any guy atm).
also he tells me i could be a model, but i don’t think much about it bc a lot of people tell me that and i actually want to get into it. he also tells me he thinks we’ll get along, i’m like “sure i get along with most weed smokers.”
he keeps asking me questions like “what’s the craziest thing you’ve done. me: “idk” he: ”sleep w/ a girl?” i say “no, i like girls but haven’t done anything w/one”. we go back, bc his family is asking where we are, they can’t know he drinks. before we leave he pay but i offer to pay for my own stuff and he says “women here don’t have to pay for anything”
later his friend brings him weed and when his family sleeps we smoke in his room. he tells me he likes me, my innocent thinking, stupid ass: “your cool too”. we get high. he asks „you want to sleep in my room tonight?“ i’m like „no, lmao“. that’s when i start to feel weird abt the evening.
my left arm is full of scars from when i used to cut myself, he points that out and asks where it’s from, i say i used to cut myself, he’s like “why?“ i just say “i had and have depression” he says he gets it bc he lived in the u.s. but can’t understand “how you could do that to yourself” and basically wants me to tell him everything abt it. i say:”you won’t understand it bc you don’t have it and i don’t do it anymore” he keeps pushing and asks me why i won’t share it with him, like i didn’t just meet him that day.. also i don’t talk abt anything with anyone. he also asked if i’m depressed at that moment. i say “no” and am annoyed and he says “i’m just fucking with you haha” to which i just respond that he’s not funny and doesn’t get it.
we chill and he keeps asking weird question. if i dated a black/senegalese guy before, kissed or slept w/ one i say no, he asks if i want to, me: i don’t care where someones from or what his skin colour is but i don’t want to w/ you. (he has the ashiest elbows i’ve ever seen) he wants to kiss me i say no, and he’s like: “i just think it’s sad you’ve never kissed your people before, like your senegalese side” ?!?!???(i think to myself, like my disgusting dad didn’t kiss me against my will enough) and tells me he likes me. i keep saying i don’t want to and have to point to my cold sore (i was starting to get ill) to get him to stop. he asks if i’m a virgin, (no) since when i’m not if it was with my first and only boyfriend (no) and what i like in bed and what i know abt sex, where i know it from. (i don’t want to tell him “oh, y’kno my brother sexually abused me when we were kids and made me addicted to porn and then i let older guys use me when i was 15 and wasted” and lots of other reasons, also bc it’s none of his fucking business especially since we talked abt how people here care to much abt what you’re doing not abt what they’re doing..) i don’t really say anything he asks if it’s from movies and vids, i say “yes” so he’ll leave me alone. he says “oh, you’re a bad girl” and smiles.. fucking dickhead.
at some point he asks if i could see me with a hijab (?!???) i just say “i’m not muslim, or religious in any way.” i kinda jokingly ask him if he could see himself in one. he doesn’t get it and says that it’s not for men.. also he asked me if he could see me without glasses like it’s something special..
he tries to tell me all this shit i already know like black people in the u.s. are at the bottom bc the system oppresses them (which i’m using pretty easy language for right now but his was even easier probably bc he thought “that woman couldn’t know anything, abt anything”), media paints a picture to support a narrative blablabla like i know all of this and also i’m high and just wanna chill.
then he starts this conversation abt how there is no explanation on how humans and exist and what was before. i’m like “dude have you never heard of dinosaurs?” and he actually asks me “is there any proof that they existed?”….. me: “fossils!?!????” and he asks if i’ve seen them… i think, is this idiot fucking serious??? but since i’ve actually been to the natural history museum where i live and they have, among other things, a huge tyrannosaurus skeleton, i can say “yes, and also what would anyone get out of making that up?”. and he’s basically just like “oh”. he is now talking abt how we don’t know what we’re made of.. i’m like “atoms, everything’s made of atoms” then he asks what they’re made of (which i actually kinda know but not their name and also 1. i’m not a scientist and 2. google is still free) and also i know we don’t know everything but like don’t try to tell me we don’t know shit that we actually know. and then he tells me this story about how he knows what happens bc “HE” (god) told him. and it’s like there was only one star that was feeling lonely and then he made himself into another star, trying to tell me it’s a scientific and spiritual fact whatever the fuck that means (i’ll give him that new stars form when old ones collapse but it’s really not that easy). and with everything i was just like “yeah you can believe whatever you believe, but i’ll believe what i believe and don’t try to push your beliefs on me” and thinking “dude when the fuck did i ever ask for you opinion on anything??”
i had all these other points to make (why would you think god’s a man, why do you think you’re right when you’ve been raised to be religious and i formed my opinions for myself? also i don’t say im right) but i let him believe what he believes and also don’t give enough of a shit abt him to care
anyway the next morning he comes to my sisters flat and calls me “miss atom” i call him “mister religious” he corrects me with “spiritual”.. whatever.. later my sister says we should do a siesta and he says only if I invite him, i say i don’t care, do what you want. i purposefully stay on the couch while he and my sister are on a mattress and he “jokingly” says that my sister should go over and i should come to him. me:”she can come over here but i won’t come over there”
then somehow we/he get into a convo abt marriage, i say idc abt that, if i love someone i don’t need to prove that by marrying. he tries to talk me into it, if it‘s his culture or religion, and his parents i say i don’t care, what do they have to do with our relationship (also thinking that if i’d ever marry it would be a woman, only if she wanted tho) and it just gives me the whole „asking for a friend“ vibe.
this day i actually get ill so i just stay in my room, mostly to avoid him. i’ve been ill since then and he asks me 10times a day if i feel better yet, like it would change in the 30min you left my alone. one time he even called me “baby-*my*name*” which might have been nice if he wouldn’t have done all that out her shit.. but still condescending.
this morning he came up and i was changing in my room, my door wasn’t closed all the way but when i heard he was up i closed it properly and while i was completely naked he comes in without knocking, it really wasn’t on purpose but still made me fucking pissed. so today when he asks me if i can give him some water (i was pouring something to drink for myself, but it also pisses me of that the men here always ask women to get them shit) i just wanted to throw the glas into his face and tell him to get his own shit.
basically he is just really annoying and invasive, but i can’t really say anything bc i’m a guest and don’t want to be rude, i might anyway at some point and if he has a problem with it i’ll just snitch to his family 🤷🏽‍♀️
also this fucking stupid pissward works for the government.. the world is doomed people!
---
There are quite a few red flags in this story, as well as a strong superiority complex coming from him. I’d definitely be wary of the guy and never be alone in a room with him. Personal space and boundaries are something he doesn’t seem to care about.

Wherever you go...I go. - Benverly
flldfllfkflf I feel bad bc this could have been v cute and wholesome but I made it sad bc I’m an evil bitch sorry babe
“Go, go, go!” Ben chanted as the group ran past him intothe empty hall. He slammed the door shut and jammed it with a bench he fell againstthe it, panting, not even phased when he noticed Eddie and Richie making outfuriously. It had been a close call. Ben was sure they were going to lose someoneelse, even Mike and Stan were huddled close together exchanging soft kisses andcomforting words as Stan cried into his shoulder.
Ben grimaced. It had definitely too close. When he blinkedhe saw the zombies clawing at them, reaching through cracks in the wall,grabbing Stan’s leg. Never again will Ben rely on plan B. He stumbled over towhere Bev stood, arms crossed watching over her boys, not a tear shed, andwordlessly took her hand. She squeezed back. A wordless declaration
An, ‘I’m okay.’
Ever since Bill had been bitten, since he’d gone, the groupfell into tatters. They all had leadership qualities but none came close to Bill,none had anything like the presence he had when he commanded a room but recentlyBen sure did come close. With Richie being too preoccupied taking care or Eddieand Mike not wanting to constantly throw himself fin danger at (Stan’s behest),Ben -and thus Bev, became the unofficial group leader.
It was in time likes this he was glad of it.
“Are we all okay?” he asked. Richie and Eddie broke apartfor air. The lines of their bodies still pressed together.
“All good,” it was impossible to tell who the reply camefrom with how quietly it was said and how close the two boys were sat but Ben acceptedit.
“Ben, oh my God, thank you so much dude,” Mike said, walkinghis way as Stan moved off to search for equipment, weapons, food or blanketsfor the night, “I didn’t even see them like— That could have been so muchworse. We could have lost—” Ben pulled him into a hug, cutting him offmid-sentence.
“We’re all here. We’re all still alive. That’s whatmatters.” Mike nods solemnly. They all know there no point in dwelling on thepast. Not after losing so much in the past 3 months.
“All that’s important right now is finding food, suppliesand—Eddie… are you bleeding?” The tension in the room thickened, it was almostslow motion how everyone looked over to the small boy. Richie looked frozen. Therewas blood gathering at the base of Eddie’s shirt and he hurriedly pulled it upto reveal a large bruising gash.
Richie let out a choked sound.
“Kit!,” Ben said, immediately rushing over to inspect thewound as Bev pulled out the medical kit and came to sit by him. He lookedthrough the limited medical supplied they had left and brought out some gauzeand tape. Eddie was still staring at it, frozen in shock.
“a—am i—it’s? I’m inf—”
“Stan pass me the antiseptic please,” Ben said, ignoring Eddieeven when his half questions turned into soft sobs. They all knew what wouldhappen if it was a bite or scratch.
“you’ll be fine,” Richie whispered softly, over and over tohis boyfriend. Ben thought that was dangerous. They didn’t know that for sure.It was no good making empty promises. Ben finished wrapping the wound. Theblood was still very red, that was good. Once it started turning black orgreen.. then they definitely had something to cry about.
“Eddie, sit down, you’re fine for now. You probably just raninto something sharp and sliced yourself, the cut in your shirt is way tooclean to be a scratch or a bite. But we’ll see tomorrow.”
That was the most comforting he could be without giving himfalse hope. He figured Eddie bumped into a table or something – otherwise thehole in his shirt would have been massive.
But maybe that was just false hope.
 “Eddies not going to be okay, is he?” Bev asked, once theywere tucked up on gym mats and towels for the night. Ben shrugged as hemassaged her back.
“I don’t think he’s been infected, I wasn’t lying about that,but he definitely won’t be able to run or move very well tomorrow. I’mworried.” All of Ben’s emergency plans involved running away, if Eddie couldn’trun…
He’d think of a different plan, they would all be safe. He’dmake sure of it.
“Well, we can stay here till he gets better then, a coupledays isn’t too much of an ask. We’ve stayed in places for longer.” Ben nodsslowly, feeling slightly off about the whole thing. He glanced over at whereRichie and Eddie were cuddled up, Eddie crying with laughter as Richie told a storyusing the flashlight – it was a gross waste of battery power but it was worthit to see tears of happiness rather than pain in Eddie’s eyes.
“I hope you’re right.” He said, “I love you Bev. I’m solucky to have you” Bev smiled, rolling over to smile up at Ben, she sat up andpulled him into a soft slow kiss, flipping Richie off when she heard him wolfwhistle.
“You’re never getting rid of me, wherever you go I go darling,”she said against his lips, “You’re an amazing leader. After bill… I didn’tthink any of us would last a week. I’m the lucky one here.”
Ben laughs and just savours the moment holding her close. Hetries not to let his mind wander. Not to let the fear seep in. He’d taken somuch for granted, bikes, the park, books, being outside, wandering around aloneon a beautiful night. None of that could happen now. But this, he and Bev. Theywere forever.
Ben had no clue where he would be right now if she wasn’t byhis side.
 Ben woke up to screaming. He instantly jumped into action.Still half asleep, hazy, he pulled Bev close and got to his feet yielding hisbaseball bat like a sword. Mike was up and fighting away the zombies  with the long bench while Stan jabbed then inthe head with his make-shift spear whilst Richie was carrying a hyperventilatingEddie to the door at the back.
Plan, plan, he neededa plan
Eddie can’t run. Can’trun, can’t run was ringing through his head
Eddie couldn’t run, so Plan A was dashed. The zombies camethrough his back-up exit, so no Plan B.
Plan C, as horrible as it was, Plan C was his only option
His mind was made within a moment. He kissed Bev on the headsoftly before nudging her towards the direction Richie ran in. She got the message,nodding at him before taking off and helping Richie get Eddie to safety.
He ran towards Mike and Stan, using his spiked bat to killas many zombies as eh could. He got enough to give them a bit of breathing roombefore pulling back and calling for them to follow him into the back room. Theylocked the auditorium doors and ran into the dance studio. Everyone waspanting, and the tension in the room was heavy. They had no clue how long that doorwould hold.
“Plan,” Ben starts, even though everyone is listeningattentively anyways, “we only have two available exits; one is through those doorsand down the hall but it goes into an opening was too big to run throughsafely, zombies would get us before we left the school grounds. The other isthe car park, but between here and there is a large glass wall, the zombieswill see you so we need to be careful. Richie and Mike, I need you to take Eddiein to the hallways and help him out to the back door and wait. Bev and Stan youescape through the front, hot wire a car from the carpark and bring it round.Make sure its big enough.” For five,Ben didn’t add.
He laid down the plan flatly and everyone nodded taking noteof their parts, everyone except for Stan.
Stan had always been too smart for his own good
“What about you, Ben?” he asked, already knowing the answerand Ben drops his eye contact for a moment.
“You and Bev will need a diversion and Eddie needs time.”
“Ben, no,” Eddie breathes softly the gears finally clickingin the heads of the losers, Ben gives him a soft smile. He catalogues the lookson everyone’s  faces, Mike looks grim buthe doesn’t complain, he understands. Richie’s clutching Eddie tightly, he lookslike he wants to speak but he bites his lip – he knew his usual comic reliefcouldn’t do anything to lessen the sadness of this situation. Eddie looks onthe verge of tears and Stan is just frowning, almost like he wants to argue butunderstand that they have no time.
He doesn’t look at Bev.
“Don’t worry about me, Eddie. You three need to head off,now,” Eddie has to be dragged out of the room, tears streaming down his face ashe fought Richie in a way that must have been hell on his wound.
“Ben, don’t do it!” he whispered and Ben feels his hearthurt. He didn’t want t hurt anyone, he was doing this so everyone would live.Mike gives him a respectful nod before they leave and Richie mouths ‘thank you’but his eyes say so much more.
Ben watches then go and turns back to face Bev. And Bevlooks pale, so, so pale.
“I’m going with you,” she whispers, “Stan knows how to hotwire a car. He can fend for his fucking self. There like 20 dead shits outthere.” Ben just laughs and laughs, stepping closer to her.
“Fuck no,” he breaths, the swear word shocking her and takingeffect. He never swears. Swearing was reserved for certain moments, horrifyingmoments when no other words in the English language could properly get him messageacross.
He reaches her and pulls her in close wishing this wasn’tthe end, wishing he had more time to just explain, but he doesn’t. He kissed herforehead in a half-apology but she just made a scorned noise, having none ofthat as he pulled him in to press a bruising kiss to his lips, breathingharshly when she pulls away. She crying, Ben realises.
“No sobs dear, the zombies will hear you,” he pleaded,wiping her cheeks
“shut up you asshole.” He gripped his wrist tight enough tobruise. She hoped they would “what happened to wherever you go, I go? How dareyou do this to me!” Ben sighed sadly.
“I’m not going to let you die. That’s just not happening.”He replied flatly, “I would do anything for you. I would cross desserts, climbmountains and soar over oceans to get to you. Having you, even if our time togetherIs over made me the luckiest man to ever life. So I will be damned if I just rolloverand let you die now. You’re following the plan, Bevvy, if I have to get Stan tocarry you out I will.” Bev looked back like she had forgotten the other boy waseven there. She turned back, fresh tears falling now. The expression on herface eluded that she wasn’t sure she could ever stop.
“After, once you’ve distracted them, you’re meeting us at thatback door. You’ll follow through.” She states. It’s not a question. Ben nods
“I’ll make it out, I’ll follow through,” he says, they bothknow it’s a lie.
He head to the door, not looking back as Stan herds Bev awaybut he hears her stifled sobs as he steps into the hallway. He places his handon the auditorium door handle and take a deep breath.
“see you soon bill,” he whispers and eases it open.
